Memoir Games

Memoir Games is an anthology of journaling games where you following a series of prompts to write and draw to reflect on your personal memories. Unlike journaling games which explore fantasy settings, in Memoir Games, you'll write and draw to reflect on real world memories inspired by my lifelong journaling practice, and exercises done while writing my own memoir. 

In each Memoir Game, you will follow a series of instructions to write and draw to reflect on your life. Do not worry about making things perfect, professional, or even for other people-- this is an exercise for yourself, and for you to share.

What You Will Need:
- Something to write and draw with (e.g. Pen and paper)
- Peace of mind to express yourself (e.g. peace and quiet, privacy, emotional readiness)
- (Optional) Mementoes of your memories

Includes:
- Six different Memoir Games to choose from, each taking as little as 10-15 min
- The Six Memoir Games are called: The Places I've Been, The Games I've Played, The People Who Made Me, The Ages I've Been, The Branching Paths, and Life Jigsaw
- Afterplay Guide including Grounding Exercises
- Guidelines for Solo Play and Facilitated Play
- Guidelines for Multiplayer and Parallel Play

We are hoping to release later in 2026, but physical copies will be on sale at local events in the meantime, and we are also gratefully accepting pre-orders for digital copies. 

This game is in Early Access! Downloads will be entitled to all future versions. And purchasing a physical copy at a live event will give access to digital copies- just email or message asking for the digital download code. 

All feedback is welcome!
